I saw a post on Leerberg webboard that someone used it with v. good results and i was wondering if anyone else has an opinion/experience with this?
Any thoughts (positive or negative) are appreciated.
*I've recently acquired a 5yr old lab that's dog aggressive.
I think that you'll find a strong anti-escape training opinion on this board, which would mean a lack of approval for Lou's methods. (He is a strong proponent of escape training.) The topic of escape training can be "searched" here, but we don't need to start another thread on it.
That aside, you will get help with dog aggro problems. Want to detail the level of the problem? Is this the only dog in the house? Is the aggression all to strange dogs, or what?
Thanks for the thumbs up guys!!!!!!
I have used the ecollar for dog-dog aggression, however, this is a very serious issue and I don't think just "talking" on an email can deal with "it" in a proper fashion.
I can help you, but also please use the search function and read the section on ecollar work, perhaps email that reference my name so you can get a feel for what I do.
Great idea to come to this board.............where we put the dog and his welfare first.
Happy Training,
Roni
Do the motivational first........all this depends upon the drives of the dog, environment, past experience and previous training. The other important factor is::::Is the behavior in the dog, dog aggression or is the dog being reactive. That's what makes this a difficult situation. I don't trust many people to correctly identify truly what is going on with the dog.
The handler must always be willing to control the environment and the dog if it is true dog-dog aggression. Dog aggression is a genetic fault, you can modify it with training, but you can't erase what is inate in the dog.

With a recently acquired dog, I think I'd probably be extra determined to bond, work on pack structure, and get going with desensitizing. A dog who is new to the home has reactivity on hyper-alert.
QUOTE: From what I know then, that would mean the dog would have to be 'given a command' every time there is another dog around. With no command given then, the dog may act and aggress. END
Do you mean that the dog is eventually going to be unsupervised with strange (or other house) dogs? Not a good plan.

It's hard to make other suggestions without knowing what form and intensity the aggression (or reactivity) takes and what you have done so far.
